Paris Fashion Week: Fashion shows travel continents and eras in Paris
Paris fashion has no boundaries and no borders. Manish Arora traveled to northwestern India's Rajasthan to bring a vibrant infusion of traditional Indian dress and lavish regal jewellery. Balmain travelled to the artisanal wicker-weavers of Cuba to give the collection a unique panache with hints of in-vogue black. Barbara Bui joined the expedition with geometric American Indian prints and tribal-looking dresses and foulards. Nina Ricci, forever a romantic Parisian gamine, travelled decades back in time to produce a nostalgic show with a modern twist.
